Ariston Fan Bearing Wear / Motor Noise

Freezer emits a high-pitched squealing or chirping noise, especially when the door is closed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn evaporator fan motor bearings, Ice rubbing on fan blades, Misaligned fan housing

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the fan.

Access fan assembly: Remove internal panels to reach the evaporator fan.
Check for ice: Clear any ice around the fan blades and housing.
Spin test: Rotate the fan by hand. If it feels rough or squeals, the motor bearings are worn.
Replace motor: Install a new Ariston-compatible evaporator fan motor to eliminate the noise.

When to call a technician: If you are not comfortable replacing the fan, schedule service.
